The victim of a violent attempted carjacking in Grand Prairie is out of the hospital after being pistol whipped and shot by a man trying to take his Mercedes.

Nelson Agbey, a 21-year-old student at Tarrant County College, told NBC 5 he had just pulled his car into a parking spot outside his apartment in the 700 block of Timber Oaks Lane in Grand Prairie when the incident began.

Around 12:30 a.m., Agbey says an armed carjacker demanded his keys and other belongings.
